*PHIL* Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Sounds like you're getting Kernel Panics.What's the spec of your Mac, and what are you usually doing when it does it?Got a mac mini, 2.0ghz core 2 duo 1gb ram.couldnt tell you what im doing when it happens its just so random, sometimes when watching films, sometimes when nothing is open and i disturb the air around the computer.formatted now, hope it doesnt happen again.now, wheres the i hate macs thread....phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Might have just been a dodgy install, Kernel Panics are really random and just happen like... whenever, it's annoying but a format should do it. If not then try taking the case off your mini and checking the RAM is seated properly, that might have something to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minitrialer Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I know this won't help, but try and learn Final Cut. It's awesome. I know imove is good at what it sets out to do, but it can limit you even on simple videos. So do you mean you just have clips from Final cut Pro or a timeline or what?

nc7r Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Why would you want to play yahoo pool you loser Anyway, I think Apple would like to know which method I used to hack my iPod Touch..But in a more polite manner of asking haha..Had to downgrade to 1.1.1 first to do the hack but all went okay in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*PHIL* Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Thought i solved it but i'm still getting these kernel panics. its the most annoying thing ever, its so random i have no idea where to start..Ive tried doing the hardware tests on the cd i got with the mac, opened up the case to see if the ram was in ok but couldn't get to the ram without taking it to pieces which i'm not gonna do. tried using it with no usb/firewire stuff connected except the mouse and keyboard and my external hdd(would have disconnected theat buy EVERYTHING is on there so all i could do is turn the os on and sit there).its not like im trying to do anything crazy with the computer, it just crashed now when i was doing some music in reason (lost all my work) and downloading off the web at the same time.i cant think what else it could possibly be, i have no dodgy software.i think it could be the external drive as thats all thats left but i wouldnt know how to test it and know for sure. and if it is, what can be done? ive switched from using usb to firewire for the drive, seems faster but still getting these restart messages..any more suggestions anyone?

JonMack Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 "The most common (and easiest to fix) is caused by bad ram. One of the first steps in isolating the problem is to take out any 3rd party ram and swap for good ram. Also, disconnect peripherals such as that used ipod you bought on ebay. A kernel panic at startup could be a sign that there are bad sectors on your hard drive. If the system can boot off a CD or an external drive you isolated it to the hard drive. If ram, peripherals, and the hard drive are all ruled out the logic board is the culprit and that is a pesky repair in your future."Which leads me to believe it's the external.

I'd just take it in to the nearest Apple shop, get a Genius bar appointment and talk to the guys for 15 mins for free. If it's within a year old then it'll be sorted by warrenty.

JonMack Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 (edited) Tried ringing Apple?Check out /Library/Logs/PanicReporter/ and see if theres anything in particular there thats causing the crash, I dunno what it would be but it's worth a try.You're looking for the lineBSD process name corresponding to current thread:Then it will give you the application name that caused the panic.Also the Apple Discussion forums can be pretty good.
